1. Thorough Inspection and Identification
Our first step is a comprehensive inspection of your property to identify the type of stinging insect, locate nests, and assess the extent of the infestation. Identifying the species is crucial because different bees and wasps require different treatment approaches. We look for nests in common areas such as eaves, attics, decks, sheds, old tires and outdoor grills.

Our trained technicians use specialized equipment and techniques to safely remove nests and eliminate the bee or wasp population. We prioritize methods that minimize harm to non-target species and the environment. For example, our spider removal service uses similar techniques of inspection and safe removal.
Nest Removal Techniques
We employ various nest removal techniques, depending on the species and location of the nest:
- Dusting: Applying insecticidal dust directly into the nest entrance.
- Spraying: Using targeted sprays to eliminate wasps and bees on contact.
- Physical Removal: Safely removing the nest structure when possible.
4. Preventative Measures
After removing the existing infestation, we take steps to prevent bees and wasps from returning. This may include sealing entry points, removing attractants, and providing recommendations for maintaining a pest-free environment. Our flea treatment plans can also be added to this.

We offer follow-up services to monitor for any signs of re-infestation and ensure the effectiveness of our treatment. Your satisfaction is our top priority, and we're committed to providing long-term peace of mind.
Common Problems That Indicate You Need Bee and Wasp Removal
Recognizing the signs of a bee or wasp infestation early can help prevent serious problems. Here are some common issues that should prompt you to seek professional assistance:
Frequent Sightings of Bees or Wasps
If you're constantly seeing bees or wasps around your property, especially in large numbers, it's a strong indication that a nest is nearby. While a few occasional visitors might not be cause for alarm, a constant presence suggests a more serious infestation. Seeing a bee or wasp buzzing around could be similar to an ant sighting, check out our ant control services too!
Visible Nests
Discovering a nest on your property is a clear sign that you need professional bee and wasp removal. Nests can be found in various locations, including eaves, attics, trees, bushes, and even underground. Disturbing a nest can be dangerous, as it may provoke the insects to sting.
Increased Allergic Reactions
If you or your family members experience more frequent or severe allergic reactions to insect stings, it's crucial to address the problem immediately. Bees and wasps can pose a significant health risk to those with allergies, and removing them from your property is essential for safety.
Damage to Property
Some species of bees and wasps can cause damage to your property by building nests in walls, roofs, and other structures. Over time, this can lead to costly repairs. Identifying and removing these pests early can help prevent further damage.
Audible Buzzing
Hearing a buzzing sound inside your walls or attic can indicate the presence of a bee or wasp nest. This is especially common in older homes with cracks and crevices that provide easy access for nesting insects. If you hear something, don't disturb it and give us a call!
Aggressive Behavior
Certain species of wasps, such as yellow jackets, can be aggressive and prone to stinging, especially when their nests are disturbed. If you notice wasps exhibiting aggressive behavior around your property, it's important to take action to protect yourself and your family and you may want to schedule our services. Our residential pest control is perfect for you!
Unexplained Swarms
Seeing a swarm of bees or wasps near your home can be alarming. Swarming is a natural behavior for some species, but it can also indicate the presence of a large, established colony. Swarms can be dangerous and should be handled by professionals.
Structural Weakness
When bees or wasps build nests inside of structures they may compromise its structural integrity leaving you with un-necessary additional costs. If you start noticing cracks, holes, or other forms of damage to the structures of your home it's likely you have a bee or wasp infestation
Stains or spots on walls
Bees and wasps, while building their nests, may cause moisture or stains from their saliva mixture. This moisture, if concentrated and left to sit, may stain walls or leave spots.
The Presence of Dead Bees or Wasps
Finding dead bees or wasps around your home, especially in a confined area, could indicate an infestation. The sight of dead insects can alert you to a larger problem that needs to be addressed
Nesting Materials
Pay attention to the materials bees and wasps use to construct their nests. If you spot paper-like material, mud, or other items being carried around by insects, it's a sign that they are building a nest nearby. Noticing such activity early on can help you address the issue before it escalates.
Sweet Food Attractants
Bees and wasps are attracted to sweet foods and drinks. If you notice an increased presence of these insects around your outdoor eating areas or near open food containers, it could be an indication of a nearby nest. Make sure your food and drinks are secured in containers and off the ground.
Landscaping Choices
Be cautious about the plants you choose for your garden. Certain flowers and sweet-scented plants can attract bees and wasps. While pollinators are essential, carefully select plants that won't encourage them to build nests too close to your home.
